How to unlock the Forged In Combat achievement in Strength of the Sword 3 - Definitive Guide

The Dark Mechanist boss fight takes place in level 11, the final level of the game. When you fight him for the first time, you will inevitably die at least a dozen times. He is a challenging adversary at this point in the game, when you only have a limited number of abilities and upgrades. If you wish, you can return to previous levels and max out the upgrades on your abilities (click here for more info: LINK), then come back to fight him when you feel ready. As soon as you can control your character, start spamming The Mechanist with whatever abilities you have available e.g. throwing knives, rockets, grenades etc. He can't attack you when he is being constantly pummelled by these weapons. Assuming you run out of ammo on all of your abilities before you kill him, you then want to dodge your way around the arena and position yourself behind him. From this point on, it's just a matter of spamming and -based attacks. Use to dodge whenever you see The Mechanist about to swing his hammer - each of his attacks are extremely powerful and can kill you within seconds if you're not careful. The trophy will pop when the animation begins upon striking the final blow. If you are having trouble, follow the strategy in the video below, provided by SanctusGaming  (be aware that he is maxed out in the video):
